[upbeat music] Hey, I have three kids. They eat so much. We try to eat real food. We try to cook when we can.
2
00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:22.720
We try not to waste too much, 'cause it drives me nuts, and it's expensive, and also for obvious climate reasons, which is why the Mill Food Recycler changed our lives a couple years ago.
3
00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:36.980
It is an odorless, effortless, and fully automated food recycler. Look, we've had this thing front and center in our kitchen for, again, a couple years now it feels like, and it is just such a game changer.
4
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:44.140
Way less waste, less smell, way less garbage, which by the way, saves you money. No leaky bags.
5
00:00:44.760 --> 00:01:00.600
Look, you got peels, bones, stalks, whatever leftovers, dump 'em in the Mill, and Mill dries and grinds them while you sleep. Again, it doesn't smell, which I don't understand. It's sleek. It's actually sexy.
6
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:07.440
Here's a question people ask. How often do you empty it? Good question. It's every three weeks? I don't know, maybe, and there's a bunch of us.
7
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:15.900
Plus, there's a little app where you can control it if you want and set a schedule, and it shows you how much food your family keeps out of landfills. A delight.
8
00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:26.560
Look, you can get seventy-five dollars off right now when you go to our special partner site. I'm gonna read you the link, but you should know it's also in the show notes, and you can just click it.
9
00:01:26.940 --> 00:01:44.520
It is mill.com/lp/important-not-important. That is mill.com/lp/important-not-important. I couldn't remember that, so we put it in the show notes.
10
00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:56.860
It's right there for you. Check it out. Huge thanks to Mill for sponsoring our work and doing the right thing, and thanks to all of you listeners for supporting our partners. [upbeat music] Hey, parents.
11
00:01:57.220 --> 00:02:07.940
You know that moment when your kid is asking you something for the forty-seventh time while you're trying to make three different breakfasts, pack lunches, and figure out if your house insurance is about to get canceled because of climate change?
12
00:02:08.169 --> 00:02:17.800
And all you can say is, "Not right now." I'm Quinn Emmett, founder and host of Important Not Important. And I'm Claire Zuelke, writer and producer of the Evil Witches Substack newsletter.
13
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:25.380
And we're here to talk about, generally with tears often, parenting in these absolutely just crazy times.
14
00:02:25.720 --> 00:02:39.380
Every week we're having honest conversations about raising kids while trying to stay somewhat sane, whether that's debating screen time- Explaining wildfire evacuations, and what fascism is, and why coups has a P in it...
15
00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:49.560
surviving another parent-teacher conference, and behavioral reflection forms... or just trying to get everyone to eat something other than dinosaur-shaped nuggets, which by the way, are delicious.
16
00:02:49.780 --> 00:02:55.180
We're not here to tell you how to be the perfect parent. We're here to remind you that you're not alone in this chaos.
17
00:02:55.440 --> 00:03:04.560
Join us for our new show, Not Right Now, a show for parents who know that loving your kids and wanting to hide from them in the pantry can both be true at the same time.
18
00:03:04.860 --> 00:03:14.290
Because we're all just trying our best while googling, "Is this normal?" in our bathrooms at three AM. Not Right Now, new episodes every Thursday, wherever you get your podcasts.
